Hello All

I am a transfer student hoping to attend FSU in Spring or Summer of 2012. I’m really not sure how it all works on when to apply so I’m hoping you guys can let me know when the best time to apply is for my circumstance, as well as if I should finish and get my AA, or just transfer now and begin taking courses towards by Bachelors.

Here is the program I’m interested in getting into at Florida State - Computer Criminology (Computer Science)
[The Florida State University](http://www.academic-guide.fsu.edu/computer_criminology.html)

I am taking 3 classes currently, and will have 56 credits at the end of this semester, with a 3.46 GPA and no AA to show for it because 60 credits is the minimum to receive an AA degree from my college (Broward CC). Should I take more classes in Spring and finish out my AA? Or should I apply now without my AA and see if they accept me?

Also my GPA is a 3.46, I’ve taken all my English’s and Maths and such. I’ve actually taken more then what they expect from me for the prereqs for this program, I’ve taken Trig and Discrete Math already. However, I only took one programming class and I do not think that will fulfill the prereq for COP XXXX (3) Computer Programming but the adviser from FSU told me its fine if I do not have that and I could just take that course at FSU.

Should I apply to this program? What are my chances.

This is my first post guys, anything I’m missing I will provide and I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

PS - I did poorly on the SAT and ACTS I took in 10th grade (5-6 years ago) Will they expect these from my if I’m applying with 56 credits? Thanks
